I blogged today about a simply activity students can complete as part of your September 11th classroom lesson plans or discussions. This is also a great assignment to help gauge your classroom's prior knowledge about the event before your classroom discussions. This is a very easy activity for students of all ages.
Type in a list of words or phrases to get started! |
In my class, students are using Wordle to create images/posters of "What September 11th Means to Me." Students type into Wordle a list of words, phrases, emotions, sentences, what that date means to them as individuals, and anything else they know about September 11th. The only input I give them is to make sure their Wordles are respectful and appropriate for school.
A few tips I give my students is to start their Wordle by typing "9/11" or "September 11" at least 5 - 6 times. This will make those words appear larger and more like titles on the Wordle. Also, make sure any names you want to appear together, that you type those names as one word. For example, Osama Bin Laden you would type into Wordle as OsamaBinLaden so all 3 names appear together and do not get split up.
